If there is a service that is not listed and you would like more details then please contact Ian Williams (E: [email protected], T: 01865815548). Please note, in this proposal the X3 will no longer service the railway station but will instead merge with the X13 to provide a service from Abingdon to the JR Hospital every 10 minutes. The X2 would be extended to Oxford Railway Station, providing a service between the station and Abingdon.

Some versions of Adobe allow the viewer to move quickly between bookmarks. Click on the submission you would like to view. If you are not taken to that page, please scroll through the document. Paul Mayhew-Archer Member of the public 06/01/2013 20:47 " My proposal is to keep Drayton as a single member ward. If this is not possible then my proposal is to call any new two-member ward ""Drayton and Sutton Courtenay"". I, and all villagers in Drayton, currently benefit from knowing we have a District Councillor looking out specifically for our interests. We know it simply because he is actually called THE DISTRICT COUNCILLOR FOR DRAYTON. I also know how confusing it can be when ward descriptions are less clear. I know it because my wife is a District Councillor for a ward in Abingdon and we regularly get calls from residents unsure as to whether she is their councillor. I can see that being a part of a larger two member ward gives us two councillors to call on if we need help, but in practice that is not preferable to having one very local councillor devoted to our interests. i would feel less well represented if a new two centre ward elected two councillors who both live in Sutton Courtney. And I'm sure the villagers of SC would feel equally less well represented if two councillors in a new ward both came from Drayton.

  • Prehistoric Oxford
    Oxoniensia 78 txt 4+index_Oxoniensia 17/11/2013 12:04 Page 1 ROMANO-BRITISH VILLA AT COMBE 1 The Tom Hassall Lecture for 2012 Prehistoric Oxford GEORGE LAMBRICK SUMMARY There is growing though still limited evidence of Palaeolithic and Mesolithic hunter gatherers in the Oxford area. During the Neolithic and early Bronze Age a major ceremonial and funerary complex developed at the confluence of the Thames and the Cherwell. It included an early Neolithic square enclosure, a major Beaker period henge monument and a Bronze- Age linear barrow cemetery aligned on the Neolithic enclosure. Communities probably practised mobile pastoralism until later prehistory when more permanent farms were established in a pattern of settlement that respected the pre-existing ceremonial complex. A possible hillfort at Wytham and a major Iron-Age midden and later temple complex at Woodeaton lie outside Oxford, but there is growing evidence of late-prehistoric activity on other hills within and west of the city as well as on the valley floor. At Port Meadow, middle Iron-Age settlements survive as earthworks set within the living legacy of the grazed grassland in which they were established. This part of the Thames valley was politically pivotal in the later Iron Age, but unlike the oppida and subsequent Roman towns at Dorchester and Abingdon, Oxford remained a relative backwater. Oxford is well known for its medieval urban archaeology through the work of Tom Hassall and others, and for the Roman period the extensive pottery industry is likewise familiar, but the

  • Call for Sites Register
    Introduction Vale of White Horse District Council is currently preparing a new Local Plan, jointly with South Oxfordshire District Council. Supporting this process, Vale of White District Council held a ‘Call for sites’ consultation in April to May 2020. Please be aware the Call for Sites is purely a data gathering exercise. It allows landowners, agents, developers, community groups and others who are interested in having land considered for a range of different uses to submit site information to the council that they would like to be assessed. Sites submitted for consideration have been set out in this register. The site register and maps are published for information and have no status in planning. The Call for Sites does not grant planning permission to any sites submitted or confirm that the sites are suitable for development. The sites submitted in the 2020 Call for Sites are one source of information that the council will use to consider which sites might be suitable for allocation through the Local Plan. Other potential sites and sources also need to be considered, including those sites submitted previously to the Local Plan 2031 Part 1 and Part 2. The documents and appendices (which list the sites) can be found on the Local Plan Part 1 and Local Plan Part 2 webpages. The planning merits of the sites will be considered using the criteria and method consistent with relevant government guidance, the outcome of which will be published in a Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (HELAA). The HELAA is in preparation and will be published alongside future local plan consultations.
